Alexander McClure writes sixteen letters to Eli Slifer, a member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, on a number of different topics, including the senatorial and representative delegate elections, reports on "Abolishing Capital Punishment," the abolition of slavery, and other developments in local politics. "The Locofocos have not even had a dream lately of defeating you... You will get a solid Whig vote, and a little more," as McClure notes. Transcripts included.
